@eimkeith ,

Well, I didn't think I had this much up travel...guess I need to follow your lead and trim the gussets back a bit. I am running SPC uppers, Radflo 2.5/650lb CO's. Do you think the shock tower damage is significant? Pretty much the same on both sides. Would you recommend reinforcing?

Aside from your comment on interference I haven't seen many threads about this and just assumed it didn't really happen much. Pretty sure this happened during a timed off-road track at the Southern Expedition Overland Challenge when I was going fast and fully flexing in sharp turns. FWIW the wheels have to be almost fully locked one way or the other for this to happen (at least for me.) Also bashed my rear lower shock mounts pretty good...have you made skids for those? Want to?
